EFM32GG12B410F1024IM64-AR

Microcontrollers Overview

The EFM32GG12B410F1024IM64-AR is a 32-bit microcontroller from the Giant Gecko Series 1 family, built on an ARM Cortex-M4 core with FPU and MPU. It operates at up to 72 MHz and includes 1024 kB of Flash program memory and 192 kB of RAM with ECC support. The device features Octal/Quad-SPI, SD/MMC/SDIO Host Controller, and dual CAN bus controllers but lacks USB and DC-DC converter options. It provides 53 GPIO pins in a QFN64 package and supports industrial temperature ranges.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrated hardware cryptographic engine supporting AES, ECC, SHA, and TRNG for robust security
• Octal/Quad-SPI interface with Execute In Place (XIP) capability for external memory access
• Dual CAN 2.0 Bus Controllers supporting high-speed communication protocols
• Ultra-low energy operation with deep sleep modes and autonomous peripheral functionality

Microcontrollers Applications

• Smart energy meters
• Industrial and factory automation systems
• Home automation and security devices
• Mid- and high-tier wearables
• IoT devices requiring secure connectivity

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'AR' indicates tape and reel packaging as per the datasheet key. Confirm the absence of the integrated DC-DC converter and USB PHY matches system power requirements. Ensure the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C) aligns with environmental constraints. Cross-reference the feature set code '4' for QSPI/SDIO/CAN availability against the bill of materials.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this variant when Octal/Quad-SPI and SDIO are required but USB connectivity is unnecessary. The lack of an integrated DC-DC converter necessitates checking if external regulation meets efficiency goals. Compare GPIO counts and peripheral sets against other B-series variants to ensure sufficient I/O for the design. Verify that the QFN64 package footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This component belongs to the EFM32GG12 Giant Gecko Series 1 family, designed for energy-friendly applications. It shares the core architecture with other GG12 parts but differs in peripheral integration and package options. The family emphasizes low power consumption alongside high performance, targeting battery-operated and always-on systems.

Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

EFM32GG12B410F1024IM64-A is the non-reel version of this part. For pin-compatible alternatives within the same series, consult the official datasheet ordering table for packages with identical footprints and matching peripheral configurations.
